If you want it, earn it.

Believing you're worth something changes nothing.

You have to show your worth to others and enrich their lives with goods or services.

Then others will just hand your desires to you.

So instead, decide that other people are worth it. They will decide the same thing about you.

My brain remembered the sizes of Vermont and New Hampshire and insists upon calling bullshit.

Basically everyone has multiple acres?

In states barely bigger than RI and DE?

Just... how?

Are developers aware of this?

No. We produce untold surpluses of food. It winds up being a large fraction of what's considered manufacturing in this data. And Monsanto Superfarms don't need a lot of labor per acre farmed like family farms, so that's why that slice has shrunk so much.

But we have a massive durable goods trade deficit. It's bleeding value out of our currency. We can't just make consumption goods and provide services. We need to start making tangible products and they have to be competitive in export markets.

We also need higher interest rates and to slash government spending, but those are whole rants in and of themselves.
